New school year - restart SW again - anyone else

[41sunnydays]

End of summer holidays and Covid restrictions and I desperately need to restart SW and lose the ridiculously amount of weight I have put on over the last two years.

Anyone else want to restart with me tomorrow?

Me too, I'm going on Tuesday night! I have about a stone to lose.

I've got 5 stone to lose

I'm restarting too, on Thursday evening. Going to start tomorrow with the healthy stuff though, I know what I'm doing mostly I think but it'll be interesting to see what's changed since I last went 5 years ago. Someone told me wine has gone up massively in syns! I have about 7 stone to lose

Yes please! I have two more months left on maternity leave and really want to go back to work feeling half decent about myself. I'd be so happy with 2 stones off.

My son has just started on staggered times so once he's in "full time" in three weeks I'm going to start again on my day off. I used to go at the weekends or after work but I resented the chunk of time it took out of the day so I'm hoping doing this will make it more enjoyable and less of a rush.

I tried SW online but I just gave up, I need the prospect of facing a stranger with the weighing scales to keep me in check.

Well I weighed myself today and was really upset; was obviously in complete self denial as I weight 16 stone 10 lbs. I thought I was about 15 stone.

No wonder my legs have been aching and my back hurting.

But been good yesterday and today so ready to get back on the band wagon and eat properly and do exercise. I have set my sword a target of 5 stone by next July. Ready for summer holidays 😀

3 stone 10 pounds to lose, back at it this week. I’ve been eating badly since 2018, but I did lose a good few stone on slimming world in my 20s, and hoping I can do the same this time round. Just joined my local gym too.

I’m 5 foot 7, 14 stone 10 pounds but I do carry weight well, nevertheless I feel tired a lot of the time and have attributed it to my weight gain over the past few years.

Monday is my weigh in day. @41sunnydays I have Majorca booked for May, fingers crossed it goes ahead as i haven’t been abroad since I was 19. 😮

It would be nice to lose a few stone too.

I’ve started unfashionably on a Friday but I’m here! 14st 13 this morning- on it like a comet

Bought a planner and lunch is in the bag for 1syn

Also going to Majorca in may @Chillychangchoo !! We’re off to Cala bona and I do want to look great

@TheGirlWhoLived

Fingers crossed we lose a few stones. I’m off to the gym tonight. First time in over a year and a half.

I WFH so for lunch I had two chocolate weetabix for a healthy B, with soya milk and a banana.

Sw pancakes , 2 syns each

I'm checking in 📍
I went back at the weekend and been doing really well so far.
Does anyone know of any good branded sun free stuff? Used to be all about mig shots and muller lights back in the day

I restarted on Wednesday, 16st 13½lb. I'd like to get to 13st but I've set my target at 14st for now. I put on 4st during my 1st pregnancy/maternity leave lost 2st then put it back on with my second rejoined almost lost the 2st again then covid hit and I've put it back on again. Determined to stick to it this time. I'm 45 with a 5 and 2yr old I need to be fitter. Good luck peeps x

First week, I've lost 4lb

Well done @Wiaa !!! I’m weighing tomorrow. Semi confident but I’ve wobbled off course a smidge

Hello! Can I join? I restarted on Sunday, I've got about 6 stone to lose

First weigh in - 5lbs down.

First weigh in… I’ve lost nothing. Not a dot!I haven’t put anything on either but still!

Very similar to me if you want to be buddies! I am at 16st10.5 lbs and want to get to 11 stone. First target is 15st aprox 10% of weight by xmas

Also mid 40s and finding weight hard to get off, plus with young children, I have one who won't sleep and one who wakes up early plus work full time on a demanding role, so often find if I don't sleep enough e.g 5 hrs I am starving the next day.

My biggest challenge is trying to find easy SW meals the whole family can eat, and I still need to buy treats for kids so it's hard to keep away from them.

Is that halloumi? What's the recipe for those lentils looks delicious

Hi! Please can I join too!? Restarted on weds having had baby #3. Currently 12 stone 2 and need to get to 9 stone 10lb.

@TheGirlWhoLived thanks, sorry to see you stayed the same it's really frustrating when you've tried really hard. Fingers crossed for next week.Dont give up

@41sunnydays
We almost always eat the same meal together as a family. I tend to do one pot pasta bakes about 3 times a week with meatballs, sausages or chicken, quick and easy and the boys love helping add the ingredients. We love diet cola chicken and tagines too.

Can I join you? I've done SW before so not sure if do this without joining a group or online
